Good. Once you cc it, you'll know. Based on what you said and considering the quench head milled off down to the dish 'adding a guesstimate of 3cc'
LSA is part of overlap. The better the cylinder head, the higher the compression ratio the less overlap you need. Splitting the duration and opening up the LSA to get the power curve to hang on past peak or at least the same peak power will kill power in the middle every time.
Not just the quench pad gone then, looks like the whole built up area under the q-pad is gone on the op's pistons.... if i had to guess, it has lost at least a half point, probably more. But until you have actual measurements, its just that....a guess.
Yep. Time to mount up the powerdyne or the Kenne-Bell! I havent run any numbers, but.... with that much of the piston gone, and being .080+ in the hole....i think mopar official is right, low 8s. Still... measure and calculate. If you want to use the blower, you may want to juggle numbers with head gasket thickness. Big difference between .020 steel shim and .080 cometics. (You dont have any quench to lose either way)
